Partial The geometry, input forms, cut lists and browser UI are straightforward to vibe-code. Load and member sizing that a builder can rely on requires structural engineering judgment and code-compliant lumber design values.
What it would actually take: A browser app can handle the truss geometry and cut-list math using a JavaScript or Python calculation core. The hard part is structural correctness: load combinations, member capacities, and connector and span tables from codes such as NDS or IBC. Validating the output needs a licensed structural engineer, and any real use would need that sign-off.
